January 30, 2009

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Casey Anthony may soon be asked if she knows who killed her daughter, Caylee, in a questionnaire from the attorneys representing Zenaida Gonzalez.

Anthony, 22, remains jailed on first-degree murder charges in the death of her daughter, whose remains were found last month near the home she shared with her mother and grandparents.
Anthony has said that she left Caylee with a baby sitter at the Sawgrass Apartments in Orange County in mid-June, but they were gone when she returned to pick up her daughter. Anthony did not report Caylee missing until a month later.

A woman named Zenaida Gonzalez, who has the only known link to Sawgrass, has filed a civil defamation suit against Anthony, claiming she has been harmed by being linked to the case.
Earlier this month, a judge ordered that Anthony answer written questions from Gonzalez's attorney, Keith Mitnik, as a compromise after Anthony's attorneys refused to allow her to be deposed in person.

"We got a lot of things to ask -- some more important than others -- but we got lots of questions," Mitnik said after the Jan. 8 hearing.

The questionnaire contains numerous questions, including:
Do you know who killed Caylee? (Caylee's name is misspelled on the questionnaire)
Do you admit the story you told law enforcement that Caylee was with someone named Zenaida Gonzalez the last time you saw her is not true?
The questionnaire also asks Anthony about Gonzalez:
How many children did she have?
What were the children's names?
What kind of car did she drive?
Did she have any tattoos?

"We want the answers to those questions as fast as we can get them," said Mitnik. "This thing isn't about money. It's about this lady's reputation that's been trashed in the worst possible way."

Anthony can choose to take the 5th Amendment and not answer the questions, although Mitnik has argued that he does not think it applies.

Defense Searches Remains Site

Meanwhile, Anthony's defense team on Friday searched the wooded area where Caylee's remains were discovered. The search occurred just hours after the defense was granted permission to search the site by a judge in a court hearing.

Sources close to the case told Local 6 News that the search was the first of many that the defense team will make to the site.

The defense team did not answer any questions after searching the site.

Church To Host Memorial Service

Also on Friday, it was announced that the First Baptist Church Orlando will host a public memorial for Caylee.

The date and time for the service has not yet been announced.

Anthony, who has been ordered to attend court hearings in her case, appeared in the courtroom on Friday wearing a gray suit jacket with her hair pulled back in a bun. She did not speak at the hearing, although she was seen smiling and laughing with her attorneys before the hearing began.
